Mourning the loss of my dog……

Ok ,as I sit here today it’s 11 years since my pug, Delilah, died… I will never ever forget the look in her eyes as the vet wielded the injection. It was “what’s happening mum I feel a bit scared.” She had struggled with mobility and continence and I felt her life wasn’t quality any more. She had been in a pushchair for the last two years so we could get out for lovely walks, visit to the town etc., BUT just typing this I am tearful. She was my everything…the glove that fitted me perfectly. Got me through so so much. Never ever judged me. She was the dog that I would have loved to translate into a human relationship with, sadly there’s no competition. I feel guilty because I don’t and have never cried for mummy in the same way. I am so sorry for such A sad and negative post. My life is good and I now have three pugs. I love them but they don’t come near her. I am so grateful I was gifted a heart dog….I would be so interested for this intensity of grief from anyone else. Thankyou.

I’m so sorry Rosalyn. Two weeks ago today I had my dear girl pts, to have let her go on any longer would have been cruel. Part of me went with her. It does every time. Maybe in time you can get another companion for your other dog. Maybe in time I’ll have another rescue shepherd but they’re all different and none can ever be replaced.
